We present GALEX FUV (1530 A) and NUV (2310) observations of the
archetypal merging system NGC 4038/39, ``The Antennae". Both tails are
relatively bright in the UV, especially in the vicinity of the
Tidal Dwarf Galaxy candidates at the end of the southern tail. The UV
light generally falls within the optically delineated tails, although
the UV light is considerably more structured, with a remarkably
similar morphology to the tidal HI. The UV colors suggest that there
has been continuing star formation within the tidal tails, even outside
the previously studied Tidal Dwarf region. Within the inner
disk regions, there are interesting UV features which appear to be
related to the extended soft X-ray loops and halo recently discovered
by Chandra.

older than tail formation timescale of 300Myr; green, yellow, blue
